Description from the seller

Beautiful pair of old dark wood chairs with natural cane seats, reflecting the Henri II style tradition, a style that experienced a significant revival in France during the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century.

Inspired by French Renaissance, these chairs feature several characteristic elements of the Neo-Renaissance style: turned uprights and legs, multipart colonnettes and balustrades on the back, finishes shaped like a pine cone, carved decoration on the upper part with a shell motif, as well as a caned seat bringing lightness and authenticity to the whole.

This type of furniture reflected the bourgeois taste of the era for historical references, architectural forms, and traditional craftsmanship.
Their slender silhouette, the worked backrest, and their beautiful aged patina give them a lot of character.
These chairs particularly attract collectors of antique French furniture, vintage decor enthusiasts, interior designers, and furniture restorers. Their charm lies in their artisanal authenticity, elegant proportions, and potential for restoration or enhancement in a rustic chic, country, classic, or vintage interior.
They can be kept in their original condition to preserve their patina, or restored/restyled according to the desired decorative project.

Height: 93 cm
Width: 42.5 cm
Depth: 40 cm

Style: Henri II / Neo-Renaissance
